Track Record

Track Record, designed by Harry Mabs with artwork by Roy Parker, was manufactured by Gottlieb in February 1939. It is representative of Gottlieb's electro-mechanical output in the years before flippers were introduced to pinball.

Like other pre-flipper machines of its era, Track Record relies on electro-mechanical switches and relays to govern gameplay, with players navigating the game's ruleset through skillful shooting and ball control rather than flipper-based aiming. Its simplicity is characteristic of pinball design in the late 1930s.

Detailed information on Track Record's specific features and artwork is limited, but as a Harry Mabs design with Roy Parker art from Gottlieb's late-1930s catalog, it offers an interesting glimpse into the evolution of pinball design in the years just before the flipper revolutionized the game.
